0:00:09 > 0:00:12Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:12 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:26 > 0:00:29attempt to beat possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.

0:00:34 > 0:00:35They are the Eggheads.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38And taking on the awesome might of the Eggheads today
0:00:38 > 0:00:41are the Busy Ladies from Hampshire.

0:00:48 > 0:00:51as a networking tool for the busy businesswomen of Andover.
0:00:51 > 0:00:52So let's meet them.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56Hello, I'm Hannah. I'm 32 years old and I'm a florist.
0:00:56 > 0:01:01Hello, I'm Caroline. I'm 57 and a self-employed craftswoman.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05Hello, I'm Claire. I'm 40 and I'm a textile accessory designer.

0:01:09 > 0:01:13Hello, I'm Vera. I'm 72 and I'm an actor and writer.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16So welcome, Busy Ladies. Welcome Hannah and your crew.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19- Thank you.- And I sense that if
0:01:19 > 0:01:22you were all ever to leave Andover, the place would collapse.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Probably fall apart without us!
0:01:24 > 0:01:27- And Vera, you're fascinating, because you write plays...- Yes.
0:01:27 > 0:01:31- ..for productions?- Yes, for our own small production company.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34- Where does that show? - All across the south of England
0:01:34 > 0:01:37for clubs and societies, WIs, U3As, that sort of thing.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40- So, we've got a very busy team here. - Oh, yes.- Good luck to you all.
0:01:40 > 0:01:44£1,000 worth of cash up for grabs every day for our challengers.
0:01:44 > 0:01:48If they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51Busy Ladies, the Eggheads have won the last 10 games,
0:01:51 > 0:01:57which means £11,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00First head-to-head battle is on the subject of Film & TV.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02Busy Ladies, who wants this?
0:02:02 > 0:02:03You going to do it?
0:02:03 > 0:02:05- Yeah. I'll do it, yeah.- Hannah.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Film & TV against which Egghead?
0:02:08 > 0:02:12- You've got the classic line-up here. - I'm going to go against Judith.
0:02:12 > 0:02:17So Hannah, our florist from the Busy Ladies, against Judith from the Eggheads.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20So there's no conferring, please go to the Question Room.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24So, I'll ask each of you three multiple choice questions
0:02:24 > 0:02:26on Film & TV in turn.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Whoever answers the most questions correctly is the winner.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Hannah, you can choose the first or second set.
0:02:32 > 0:02:33I'll go first, Jeremy.
0:02:36 > 0:02:37Here we go,
0:02:37 > 0:02:39Film & TV. Good luck, Hannah.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42Which actor played the role of Mitch Buchannon
0:02:42 > 0:02:45in the American TV series Baywatch?
0:02:49 > 0:02:52That is David Hasselhoff.
0:02:53 > 0:02:54The Hoff is the correct answer.
0:02:56 > 0:02:57Still very popular.
0:02:58 > 0:03:03Judith, in which year were the films Bad Boys, Crimson Tide
0:03:03 > 0:03:06and Toy Story released?
0:03:13 > 0:03:17Erm...I think it's...
0:03:17 > 0:03:20..well, it's definitely not 1985.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24I just don't know whether it's '95 or 2005,
0:03:24 > 0:03:27because life passes so fast.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30Erm...I think it's erm...
0:03:30 > 0:03:32'95.
0:03:32 > 0:03:361995 is the right answer. Well done, Judith. Good guess.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38Hannah, your question.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40Who became the first Spanish woman
0:03:40 > 0:03:44in history to receive a Best Actress Academy Award nomination
0:03:44 > 0:03:48for her performance in the 2006 film Volver?
0:03:54 > 0:03:57I'm just thinking back to the film. Erm...
0:03:57 > 0:03:592006.
0:04:00 > 0:04:04I'm going to go for...Penelope Cruz.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07- Is she right, Eggheads? - She is indeed.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09You are. Well done.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Judith, your question.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14Fred Savage played the role of Kevin Arnold
0:04:14 > 0:04:18in which TV comedy series between 1988 and 1993?
0:04:23 > 0:04:27I don't know. Whatever it was, I didn't watch it.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30Erm...what about Roseanne?
0:04:30 > 0:04:32What about...
0:04:32 > 0:04:34The Wonder Years?
0:04:34 > 0:04:36Oh, no.
0:04:36 > 0:04:37- Yes.- Oh...- Roseanne is wrong.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41- The Wonder Years is right. - A bit tricky there, because
0:04:41 > 0:04:42the character's name is Kevin Arnold
0:04:42 > 0:04:44and Rosanne's surname was Arnold.
0:04:44 > 0:04:48- That was what you were thinking of, Judith?- What was I thinking of?
0:04:48 > 0:04:49With your logic and deduction,
0:04:49 > 0:04:53you were thinking of the fact that Roseanne's surname was Arnold.
0:04:53 > 0:04:54Oh, really? Perhaps I was.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56You were, Judith! You were.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58So Hannah, if you get this right -
0:04:58 > 0:05:01well, we mustn't say it in front of Judith, she gets very upset -
0:05:01 > 0:05:05but a bad thing will happen to the Egghead.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07JEREMY CHUCKLES
0:05:07 > 0:05:08Hannah, what is the name of the son
0:05:08 > 0:05:12of the fictional character Alan Partridge?
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Now...
0:05:21 > 0:05:22Alan Partridge...
0:05:26 > 0:05:28I believe it's Fernando.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30OK...
0:05:31 > 0:05:33It is Fernando. You are in the final. Well done.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37Judith, you can't catch up now,
0:05:37 > 0:05:39so we'll have to leave this round there.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43Sorry, you've been knocked out. Please both of you come back to the studio.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47So, one for the Busy Ladies.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50You lost no brains from the final round so far,
0:05:50 > 0:05:52the Eggheads have lost one brain.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54The next subject is History.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57Which of our Busy Ladies would like this?
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Can you do History, Caroline?
0:05:59 > 0:06:01- No, I can't.- You can?
0:06:01 > 0:06:03- I can give it a go.- Give it a go.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06Because it was between you and Lynn, wasn't it?
0:06:06 > 0:06:08- Go for it, Lynn, yeah?- OK.
0:06:08 > 0:06:09We're going to go for Lynn.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11Lynn...against?
0:06:11 > 0:06:13- Go for Chris.- You choose.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16- Yes. You choose.- No, you choose.- Go for Chris, then.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18All right.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20- We're going to go for Chris.- OK.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23Lynn from the Busy Ladies... A long negotiation there.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25Chris from the Eggheads on History,
0:06:25 > 0:06:29and to ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32- Good luck in this round.- Thank you.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35- First or second set of questions? - Oh...I'll go first.
0:06:37 > 0:06:38Lynn, here's your question.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41What name, Lynn, was given to
0:06:41 > 0:06:44the members of the wealthy aristocratic class in Ancient Rome?
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Oh. Mm...
0:06:53 > 0:06:55Well, not Plebeians.
0:06:55 > 0:06:59I've never heard of Praetorians,
0:06:59 > 0:07:01so I'll go for Patricians.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04Patricians is spot on, Lynn. Well done.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Chris, your question.
0:07:06 > 0:07:11Who was the first King of England of the Yorkist Plantagenet line?
0:07:16 > 0:07:20Well, William II was William Rufus. He was a Norman.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23And Charles II was a Stuart. So it's Edward IV.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Edward IV is the right answer.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Your question, Lynn.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31Joan of Arc was executed in which city in 1431?
0:07:36 > 0:07:40Erm...I think that's Rouen?
0:07:41 > 0:07:44Lynn, well done. Rouen is the correct answer.
0:07:44 > 0:07:45- Well done.- Thank you.
0:07:46 > 0:07:47Chris, your question.
0:07:47 > 0:07:51In which country was the explorer Ferdinand Magellan born
0:07:51 > 0:07:53in about 1480?
0:07:56 > 0:07:59Magellan was Portuguese. So it's Portugal.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03Portugal is correct.
0:08:04 > 0:08:05Famous for?
0:08:05 > 0:08:09Well, he was in charge of the first circumnavigation of the globe.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12He didn't live to complete it, he died in the Philippines.
0:08:14 > 0:08:15Lynn, your question.
0:08:15 > 0:08:19What is the name of the ship that in 1805 brought to Britain the news
0:08:19 > 0:08:21of Nelson's victory and death at Trafalgar,
0:08:21 > 0:08:26but was then grounded and wrecked off Cadiz in 1808?
0:08:31 > 0:08:35Well, HMS Pickle sounds very unlikely.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37Probably be the one, but it sounds unlikely.
0:08:37 > 0:08:42Erm... So between Potter and Piper I'm going to go for Piper.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45Vera, do you know? You looked certain for a second.
0:08:45 > 0:08:46I didn't think it was Potter
0:08:46 > 0:08:49and I didn't think it was Pickle, so I thought it was Piper.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51But I may be wrong.
0:08:51 > 0:08:52No, it is Pickle.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54It is Pickle? Well, I'm blowed.
0:08:54 > 0:08:55HMS Pickle is the answer, not Piper.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57Chris, which member
0:08:57 > 0:09:02of the Pankhurst family, famous for making advances in female suffrage,
0:09:02 > 0:09:08moved to work in Ethiopia at the age of 74 and died there in 1960?
0:09:12 > 0:09:17Well, Emmeline was the famous Mrs Pankhurst of the suffrage movement.
0:09:18 > 0:09:19So it's not her.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23Er...
0:09:25 > 0:09:29Was it Christabel, was it Sylvia? They were Emmeline's daughters.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32I think it was Sylvia who went to Ethiopia, because Christabel
0:09:32 > 0:09:35was active in British politics as late as the '30s.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37So I'll say Sylvia.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40Sylvia is the right answer, Chris.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43Well done. You know your Pankhursts.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45Eggheads have won that round,
0:09:45 > 0:09:46Chris will be in the final.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48Lynn, sorry - you were beaten there.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51- Very knowledgeable, he is.- Indeed.
0:09:51 > 0:09:55You won't be supporting your team in the final. Please both rejoin your team-mates.
0:09:57 > 0:10:01So, as it stands, the Busy Ladies have lost one brain from the final round,
0:10:01 > 0:10:04the Eggheads have lost one brain as well. Level pegging.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06Next subject is Arts & Books.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09I think there's going to be a fight for who wants this one.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12- Caroline's going to do that. ..Aren't you?- Yeah.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14- Caroline.- Caroline.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Caroline. Against...?
0:10:16 > 0:10:18We're going to go for CJ.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20At least it's not Sport.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22Caroline from the Busy Ladies
0:10:22 > 0:10:26against CJ from the Eggheads. Please go to the Question Room now.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31CJ, your strongest areas, in Arts & Books?
0:10:31 > 0:10:33All those that don't involve the arts or the books.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36But you like books with pictures in, I assume?
0:10:36 > 0:10:39Especially if I can colour them in, yes.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Three questions on Arts & Books in turn. Caroline,
0:10:41 > 0:10:45- first or second set? - I'll go first, please.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51Here we go. Although he was born in New York City,
0:10:51 > 0:10:53Frank McCourt's prize-winning book Angela's Ashes
0:10:53 > 0:10:56is predominantly about his upbringing in which country?
0:11:01 > 0:11:05Well, I haven't read the book, but I have heard about the film.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08And I believe it's Ireland.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11You are absolutely right. Well done.
0:11:12 > 0:11:13Over to you, CJ.
0:11:13 > 0:11:18Captain Cat and Myfanwy Price are characters in which 20th-century work?
0:11:23 > 0:11:26That is Under Milk Wood.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28You got it right, CJ, Under Milk Wood. One each.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30Back to you, Caroline.
0:11:30 > 0:11:34"Man hands on misery to man. It deepens like a coastal shelf.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38"Get out as early as you can, And don't have any kids yourself."
0:11:38 > 0:11:43are lines from a work by which 20th-century poet?
0:11:48 > 0:11:52Well, I studied Keats at Literature,
0:11:52 > 0:11:53erm...
0:11:53 > 0:11:56and it's obviously a more modern piece.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00Erm...
0:12:01 > 0:12:03I'm going to take a flyer,
0:12:03 > 0:12:06and say Philip Larkin.
0:12:07 > 0:12:11It's more than a flyer, it's the right answer. Philip Larkin.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13CJ,
0:12:13 > 0:12:17which Shakespeare play ends with a statue of Queen Hermione
0:12:17 > 0:12:21appearing to come to life, only for it to be revealed
0:12:21 > 0:12:26that she is the real Hermione, who was thought dead for the last 16 years?
0:12:32 > 0:12:36I have no idea. You know I know very little about Shakespeare.
0:12:38 > 0:12:39Oh, dear.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44There's something nagging me about Timon Of Athens,
0:12:44 > 0:12:47although I've never read the play...
0:12:47 > 0:12:52that...the King's being punished, I think.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59I can't remember The Winter's Tale although I read it at A-level.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05I don't know, but I'm going to go
0:13:05 > 0:13:07for Timon Of Athens.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11- Daphne...?- Winter's Tale.
0:13:11 > 0:13:12- Oh.- CJ, you're wrong.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Winter's Tale, it was.
0:13:15 > 0:13:16Fallen behind.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19So if you get this right, Caroline,
0:13:19 > 0:13:21you will have taken him on the curve.
0:13:22 > 0:13:27What is the predominant colour in Klimt's painting The Kiss?
0:13:31 > 0:13:33It's Gustav Klimt,
0:13:33 > 0:13:36and I'm trying very hard to picture it in my mind.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40And...I think it's gold.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42You're right. Absolutely right.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45So CJ, you've been knocked out. There's no way back.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Well done to our challenger,
0:13:47 > 0:13:49good news for the Busy Ladies,
0:13:49 > 0:13:53cos Caroline will be able to play in today's final round. Do come back to us.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58So as it stands, the Busy Ladies have lost one brain
0:13:58 > 0:14:01from the final round, the Eggheads have lost two brains.
0:14:01 > 0:14:05- Last subject is Sport. - Oh! I knew it would be.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07Is this... Have we prearranged this one?
0:14:07 > 0:14:10Yeah. This is definitely my worst subject.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13Claire, OK. And you're going to take on...who?
0:14:13 > 0:14:15- Kevin?- Oh, I don't mind.- Or Daphne?
0:14:15 > 0:14:18- Go for Daphne.- Daphne?
0:14:18 > 0:14:20Daphne. Go on, then.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22So Claire from the Busy Ladies of Andover
0:14:22 > 0:14:25versus Daphne of Weston-super-Mare...
0:14:25 > 0:14:26- Da-da!- ..and the Eggheads.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29So there's no conferring, take your positions.
0:14:30 > 0:14:34Three questions on Sport in turn, and Claire, you can choose
0:14:34 > 0:14:37- the first or second set. - Definitely first, please.
0:14:39 > 0:14:40Here we go.
0:14:40 > 0:14:45Who became captain of the England cricket team in January 2009?
0:14:50 > 0:14:52Oh...!
0:14:52 > 0:14:54SHE LAUGHS
0:14:54 > 0:14:57I don't think it's Michael Vaughan. I think he's done that.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01Er...I can picture Kevin Pietersen...
0:15:02 > 0:15:04..and I'm not sure that it was him either.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07So I'm actually going to say Andrew Strauss.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10Andrew Strauss is your answer. That's right.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13- Yes!- Well done.- Oh!
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Daphne,
0:15:15 > 0:15:20for which football team did David Beckham make his debut in January 2009?
0:15:25 > 0:15:27Oh! Football.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29But it's AC Milan.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32AC Milan is the right answer.
0:15:34 > 0:15:35Over to you, Claire.
0:15:35 > 0:15:39Which American golfer won the British Open and the US Masters
0:15:39 > 0:15:42in 1998 at the age of 41?
0:15:48 > 0:15:53Erm...I'm going to confess that I'm really unsure about this one.
0:15:53 > 0:15:54Erm...
0:15:59 > 0:16:01I have a slight leaning towards one of them,
0:16:01 > 0:16:07so I'm going to go with that, and say...Phil Mickelson.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11I was hoping you were leaning a little bit further to the right.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13Oh. I'm not very good at leaning.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16- Mark O'Meara it was.- OK. That's OK.
0:16:17 > 0:16:18So Daphne has a chance
0:16:18 > 0:16:21to go into the lead on Sport.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23Your favourite subject, Daphne.
0:16:23 > 0:16:27- I don't think so!- What is your favourite sport, anyway?
0:16:27 > 0:16:29Tennis, really.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31Well, you'll enjoy this question.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34- Oh, no!- Which rugby union player,
0:16:34 > 0:16:39who scored a try in England's 2007 World Cup semifinal against France,
0:16:39 > 0:16:43retired from international duty in December 2008?
0:16:48 > 0:16:50SHE SIGHS I don't know.
0:16:51 > 0:16:55My grandson's going to be so cross with me.
0:16:57 > 0:17:01I think Mike Tindall's still playing, isn't he? But, er...
0:17:01 > 0:17:04I hope they're not banging their heads on the desk.
0:17:05 > 0:17:09I will go for...Will Greenwood.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13- No.- No? - No, no, no. You lent the wrong way
0:17:13 > 0:17:15as well, Josh Lewsey is the answer.
0:17:18 > 0:17:23So one each. Claire, Lasse Viren, who won gold medals
0:17:23 > 0:17:30in both the 5,000m and the 10,000m at the 1972 and '76 Olympic Games,
0:17:30 > 0:17:32was born in which country?
0:17:38 > 0:17:41Hmm!
0:17:41 > 0:17:44You couldn't have more difficult questions for me, erm...
0:17:46 > 0:17:48Oh, dear.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50I'm sure the rest of my team
0:17:50 > 0:17:51probably know the answer to this one.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56Erm...
0:17:56 > 0:17:59I'm going to say Finland.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01- You're right.- Oh!
0:18:04 > 0:18:07- Daphne, if you get this wrong, you're not in the final.- I know!
0:18:07 > 0:18:11In which sport, Daphne, do teams from Europe and the USA
0:18:11 > 0:18:15compete against each other for the Mosconi Cup?
0:18:21 > 0:18:26I think...fingers crossed,
0:18:26 > 0:18:28it's pool.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32Tell me I'm right!
0:18:32 > 0:18:35How do you know that? It's pool, it is pool. Well done.
0:18:36 > 0:18:41So scores are level, which means we go now to Sudden Death.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43Claire, here's your question.
0:18:43 > 0:18:50- OK, mm-hmm.- Which swimming stroke comprises the penultimate leg of the Olympic medley relay?
0:18:51 > 0:18:54OK...
0:18:54 > 0:18:57I reckon it's...
0:18:59 > 0:19:00..butterfly.
0:19:00 > 0:19:04Butterfly is right. Well done!
0:19:04 > 0:19:07You've got the edge. And you knew that.
0:19:07 > 0:19:11I did, swimming I like, that's the only thing I like.
0:19:12 > 0:19:16All right, Daphne, get this wrong, you're not in the final.
0:19:16 > 0:19:22Fenway Park is the home ground of which US baseball team?
0:19:23 > 0:19:25Boston Red Sox.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27- Your answer is correct.- Oh!
0:19:27 > 0:19:29Well done.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32- I'm really sorry.- OK, Claire... - Oh, dear.
0:19:32 > 0:19:37Which Italian skier won the gold medals in the slalom
0:19:37 > 0:19:42and the giant slalom at the 1988 Winter Olympics?
0:19:42 > 0:19:48I'm afraid, Jeremy, I know of no Italian skiers, so I'm going to pass.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50I was going to say I need the first and last name,
0:19:50 > 0:19:53but I don't think you're going to give me either.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55OK, any Eggheads know that?
0:19:55 > 0:19:58- Alberto Tomba.- Alberto Tomba.
0:19:58 > 0:20:03He won a gold in the giant slalom in the '92 games as well.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06- Right, this is it.- Daphne, get this right, you're in the final.
0:20:06 > 0:20:14Which country won six of the first seven men's ice hockey tournaments at the Winter Olympics?
0:20:14 > 0:20:16Canada?
0:20:16 > 0:20:19- Is that your answer?- Yes.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22Well done, Daphne, you've got it right!
0:20:22 > 0:20:24So, Claire, you won't be in the final.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26Daphne, you will, well played.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29Both of you please rejoin your team-mates.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33This is what we've been playing towards,
0:20:33 > 0:20:35it's time for the final round, which is General Knowledge,
0:20:35 > 0:20:38but those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:20:38 > 0:20:41won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43So Claire and Lynn from the Busy Ladies
0:20:43 > 0:20:48and Judith and CJ from the Eggheads, would you please now leave the studio?
0:20:50 > 0:20:54So here we are, Busy Ladies, this is where it gets exciting.
0:20:54 > 0:20:58Hannah, Caroline and Vera, you're playing to win your team £11,000.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01Kevin, Daphne and Chris, you're playing for something that money
0:21:01 > 0:21:04can't really buy, the Eggheads' reputation.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07As usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09The questions are all General Knowledge.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12You are allowed to confer. Busy Ladies, the question is,
0:21:12 > 0:21:15are your three brains better than the Eggheads' three?
0:21:15 > 0:21:18- And also, would you like to go first or second?- We'll go first, please.
0:21:21 > 0:21:26Very best of luck. Baton Rouge is the capital of which US state?
0:21:32 > 0:21:33My American geography is...
0:21:33 > 0:21:36- Not very good.- ..not very good.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38Right, erm...
0:21:38 > 0:21:40I don't think it's in Mississippi,
0:21:40 > 0:21:43because I think that's... too far south.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47Baton Rouge, Alabama?
0:21:47 > 0:21:52I think it's probably Alabama, but I'm not... What do you think?
0:21:52 > 0:21:54I was going to say Louisiana.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57I was going to go for Louisiana, but I don't know.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00Shall we go for that one?
0:22:00 > 0:22:02- Yeah.- OK. Right.
0:22:02 > 0:22:03Louisiana.
0:22:03 > 0:22:07Well done to you for shifting your ground, Vera, it is Louisiana.
0:22:07 > 0:22:08Yeah! Very good.
0:22:08 > 0:22:12Well done. I don't know where it came from, but it was right.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14Eggheads, your question.
0:22:14 > 0:22:18What name was given to crowded slum buildings and slums
0:22:18 > 0:22:20in the 18th and 19th centuries?
0:22:23 > 0:22:27Rookeries, yeah. Yeah, they pop up in Dickens
0:22:27 > 0:22:29quite a bit, they get called rookeries.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32Rookery is the right answer.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34Your second question, Busy Ladies.
0:22:34 > 0:22:38Which ballet dancer, celebrated for his spectacular leaps
0:22:38 > 0:22:42and sensitive interpretations, was born in Kiev in 1890?
0:22:49 > 0:22:52- Nijinsky, I'm sure. - I don't know this one.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54- It's got to be Nijinsky, hasn't it? - Yes.
0:22:54 > 0:22:59Cos he was well known for his leaping, yes. Nijinsky.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02Nijinsky is correct.
0:23:02 > 0:23:06- The other two... Well, Baryshnikov is still alive, is he?- Yeah.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09Nureyev died...what, 10 years ago?
0:23:09 > 0:23:13About 15, '93, I think.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16OK. Eggheads, your question to catch up.
0:23:16 > 0:23:20Which former Blackadder cast member was elected to serve on
0:23:20 > 0:23:24the Labour Party's National Executive Committee in 2000?
0:23:30 > 0:23:33That, erm...was Tony Robinson.
0:23:33 > 0:23:37Tony Robinson is...correct.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40Next question is for the Busy Ladies.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43Who's written cook books with the titles
0:23:43 > 0:23:46Home Made, Family Kitchen and Real Family Food?
0:23:52 > 0:23:55I think it's Tana Ramsay.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58- Do you?- Pretty...sure.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00If you're sure, because I don't know.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02- I'll go for Tanya Ramsay. - Tana Ramsay.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04A lot riding on this...
0:24:04 > 0:24:08It's not Jools, it's not Marie, it is Tana Ramsey. Well done.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11- Well done, well done! - Hannah, you're playing well.
0:24:11 > 0:24:15Eggheads, you get this wrong, the Busy Ladies take £11,000.
0:24:15 > 0:24:19Third question. Along with Linz,
0:24:19 > 0:24:24which city became European Capital of Culture for 2009?
0:24:27 > 0:24:29- It's Vilnius, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31Yes, they double up these days.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34It used to be there'd be one particular city,
0:24:34 > 0:24:38but now they tend to go for two, and the other one for 2009 is Vilnius.
0:24:38 > 0:24:42Vilnius...is the right answer.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44So the scores are level.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47We now go to Sudden Death, and to make it that bit harder,
0:24:47 > 0:24:49these questions are not multiple choice.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51Are you ready, Busy Ladies?
0:24:51 > 0:24:55- Yes.- £11,000 up for grabs, here's your question.
0:24:55 > 0:25:00Which London bridge was closed only two days after its official opening
0:25:00 > 0:25:02in June 2000?
0:25:02 > 0:25:04Oh, it was the wobbly bridge!
0:25:04 > 0:25:08What's its proper name? Do they call it the Millennium Bridge?
0:25:08 > 0:25:10The Millennium Bridge, I think, yes.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13You go for that, I'm not sure.
0:25:13 > 0:25:17We know it's the wobbly bridge, but we don't know whether you'll accept that.
0:25:17 > 0:25:22It goes from the City to Tate Modern, so we think we must be Millennium Bridge.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25- Your answer is...- Millennium Bridge. - Is the right answer,
0:25:25 > 0:25:29well done. Eggheads, you need to get this question right.
0:25:29 > 0:25:36What is the highest number that can be drawn in the UK's National Lottery Lotto main draw?
0:25:38 > 0:25:39It's 49.
0:25:39 > 0:25:4149, isn't it?
0:25:41 > 0:25:43- It goes up to... - Yeah, it's definitely 49.
0:25:43 > 0:25:47Yeah, the Lotto main draw goes up to and including 49.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49- Yeah.- 49 is correct.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53Here's your question, Busy Ladies.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55What is the two-word French term,
0:25:55 > 0:25:59originally used as the nickname of Cardinal Richelieu's secretary, Pere Joseph,
0:25:59 > 0:26:05that describes a powerful adviser or decision-maker who operates secretly or unofficially?
0:26:05 > 0:26:10- It's eminence grise. - Eminence grise is correct.
0:26:10 > 0:26:11- Well done!- Well done, Vera.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15Eggheads, your question.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17If you get this wrong, you're gone.
0:26:17 > 0:26:24Which 18th-century author produced the epic The History Of The Decline And Fall Of The Roman Empire?
0:26:24 > 0:26:26Edward Gibbon. Yeah.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28That was Edward Gibbon.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31Edward Gibbon is correct.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33OK, so we're back with it.
0:26:33 > 0:26:38The United Arab Emirates is a federation consisting of how many states?
0:26:39 > 0:26:41What countries are in it?
0:26:41 > 0:26:43I thought it was three.
0:26:43 > 0:26:47- Is there something that tells you three or are you...? - No, I don't know.
0:26:47 > 0:26:51- No, but you think three. - Shall we go with three?- Yes.- Three.
0:26:51 > 0:26:55- You're some way off. It's seven. - Oh, it's never!
0:26:55 > 0:26:57Seven. Can we name them?
0:26:57 > 0:27:00- Dubai, Qatar... - No, Qatar's not one of them.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02- Isn't it? - No. No, it's a separate country.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05There's Dubai, there's Abu Dhabi.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08There's Ras al Khaimah, Umm al Qaiwain, Ajman,
0:27:08 > 0:27:10and I can't think of the other two.
0:27:10 > 0:27:14There's another well-known one that I've forgotten. Plus another one.
0:27:14 > 0:27:18OK. If they get this right, they've won.
0:27:18 > 0:27:23Eggheads, which New York-based newspaper was founded in 1955
0:27:23 > 0:27:26by Dan Wolf, Edwin Fancher and Norman Mailer?
0:27:26 > 0:27:30A literary thing, I think. I mean, is that the Village Voice?
0:27:30 > 0:27:31- Yep.- As in Greenwich Village.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34It's about the '50s, Greenwich Village, Village Voice.
0:27:34 > 0:27:38I don't know that, I'm just putting that in as a suggestion.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41- Shall we go for it?- Go for it, yeah. - We'll go for it, yeah.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44We don't know this for sure, we'll go for the Village Voice.
0:27:44 > 0:27:48If you get this right, you've taken the contest and the Busy Ladies have not won.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50Village Voice is the right answer.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52Congratulations, Eggheads, you've won.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00You did really well. You took them on in Sudden Death,
0:28:00 > 0:28:04and things can unravel when it gets to this stage.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07Unfortunately, they didn't unravel enough.
0:28:07 > 0:28:11Commiserations to you, Busy Ladies. It's been very nice to see today.
0:28:11 > 0:28:15The Eggheads have done what comes naturally, and their winning streak continues.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £11,000,
0:28:18 > 0:28:20which means that the money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:20 > 0:28:24Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:24 > 0:28:28Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31£12,000 says they don't.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33Till then, goodbye.
